"No, it's either Virgil or Vergilius, you're not likely to find a translation of Inferno that uses "Vergil."" Dear lord. I said it was a reference, not that they lifted the name verbetim. It is a modernized version of the name. It purposefully spelled that way so that we can see the homage without having a character with an ancient sounding name.

"And in the case of Nelo Angelo, we don't have the former article because IIRC the games have never used "Nero Angelo" in English. We could have an article called "Black Angel" explaining why that term exists and where it's used, since "black angel" and "dark angel" have been used in multiple games and it's a potential point of confusion if people don't know badly translated Latin." We dont have an article for Nero Angelo because Nelo Angelo's article explains that it is a mistranslation.

"No, because having the same name doesn't mean they're the same thing, it means they have the same name." So you are going to keep ignoring that they have same name AND description?

"In Japanese, "kanchou" can mean "captain," "spy" and "enema." Are they the same thing?" All those words are phonetically the same but they have different characters in the japanese alphabet. This argument is the same as saying that "there" 3 different meanings because it sounds the same as "they're" and "their"

"And you say it might be a mistranslation. That's great! It also might not be one. It is, regardless, the officialtranslation, as approved by Capcom." Source material over rules everything else unless stated otherwise because even approved translations contain screw ups (see Nelo Angelo).
